Topic: raw poppy seed cake? (Read 7572 times)

Has anyone made a raw poppy seed cake? ....or seen a recipe that looks like it might be good?

I made a conventional one this morning and then set to wondering if there might be a delicious raw version (particularly because I am obsessed with trotting back to the kitchen to eat the one I made this morning).

Thanks Cornish Cream. Tebasile also suggested this one. I was a bit stuck on the Jimaca as an ingredient (although I think it grows well in the conditions where we live) and I haven't seen any asian pears in the Stupormarket (Supermarket).

I haven't gone looking this morning but I woke up thinking I might adapt a filling recipe for pastries etc to get a full poppy seed taste, maybe shape them into balls ......I love to dream food.

I made Hungarian poppy seed pastries (Beigli) a couple of weeks ago, from a recipe that Vivacity sent me - the paste in that is cooked, but you'd probably like it - it's delicious. (The pastry is kind of like a mixture between a strudel and brioche dough, that you roll really thin, spread with paste, and roll up and cook.) Let me know if you want the recipe.
